The Mi 6X Hatsune Edition has been already launched and there is no further information available on Mi Max 3.

Mi Max 3 remains one of the most anticipated Xiaomi phones. Leaks and rumours have suggested that the device is expected to retain its giant-sized footprint.

Furthermore, it is expected to support Qi-standard wireless charging along with an iris scanner for biometric authentication.

Firmware files leaked before indicated the phone will run on Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box.
